These situations were totally common throughout history. Starting from the industrial revolution in Britain which led to numerous concerns in France about their textile industry.

I can tell you many other examples.

• The pre-revolutionary Russian Empire where German industry was seen to dominate over domestic industry.

• The Cold War era Soviet Union where it was common to argue for domestic development rather than relying on imports. For instance it is often argued that adoption in the 1970s of the US standards for computers (those of IBM for mainframes and DEC for workstations), and consecutive copying severly hindered domestic computer industry.

• The post-Cold-War era Eastern European countries where the imports from the Western Europe and other countries either killed domestic producers (such as automobile producers RAF, Moskvitch, ZIL, TagAZ, aircraft producer SAZ) or severly hindered the production (civil airliner production in Russia has dropped by about 90%). Because of this, Russia has imposed prohibitive taxation on import of automobiles and planes. In other countries I can mentiontion Bulgarian food conserve industry which was nearly totally killed after entrance into the EU as well as the machinery and electronics in the Baltic states.

• It is often alleged that the western companies sometimes buy local producers in the Eastern Europe with the only aim to close them down (unfriendly acquisition) so to remove competitors.

• Serious danger to the Ukrauinian producers is cited by the opponents of Ukraine entering the association agreement with the EU, with some commenters predict their food and machinery industries totally devastated.
